On Tuesday, Supervisor of The Hand in Hand Company in Berbice, Zaleena Ramkishun, in the presence of Manager Tajepaul Ajodha presented a cheque to organizer of the event and coach of FACC, Randolph Roberts, at a simple presentation ceremony held at the business entity.
Randolph Roberts took the opportunity to thank all those who contributed towards the activity.
